We’re excited to share the next episode with you — which we’re still producing. In the meantime, we’re going to share a few snippets of other stories we’ve gathered during the past year CapRadio has been in Meadowview.

How do people solve problems when the odds seem stacked against them?
Thousands of people in the south Sacramento neighborhood of Meadowview live this question every day. Meadowview may be where police shot and killed Stephon Clark last year. But it’s also home to little league fields bearing the names of beloved cops; a place where Sacramento’s newest immigrants get a promising start, and community members work tirelessly to improve prospects for the next generation.
